Between 1908 and 1940, many Springfielders ordered their homes through mail order catalogs from companies like Montgomery Ward and Sears, Roebuck & Company. Join catalog house historian Cindy Catanzaro on an exploration of the southern part of the Hills and Dales neighborhood, which boasts a large collection of Sears kit houses, as well as competing styles from popular pattern books of the 1920s and 1930s. Meet at the corner of St. Paris Road and Snowhill Boulevard.
